[Geany] Lua plugin 0.5.2 released

[Jeff Pohlmeyer]

Another new version of GeanyLua, with a couple
of significant changes:

I added some protection against faulty scripts freezing
the IDE - scripts are now given a maximum run-time of
fifteen seconds, after which you are given an option to
cancel the script.  This should for example help prevent
losing data if you accidently create a script that contains
an endless loop. Although there are still some situations
where it is possible for a script to hang up Geany, this
should help in many cases.

There is also a new timeout() function allowing script
authors to increase or decrease the timeout interval or
even disable it completely, and a yield() function to
allow the GUI to refresh itself during lengthy operations.


Last but not least, the licensing clause now affords users
the possibility of choosing GPL-v2 or later versions, which
should make the license 100% compatible with Geany.
